SKYLINE WON'T drive normally

So after thrashing it down the road, my car went into a LIMP mode, now when I drive, it won't go over 2000rpm, even when parked I can't rev it pass 2000, it's like hitting a rev Limiter. So I suspected the AFM, spark plugs and Coils so, I cleaned the AFM (sprayed it down) and replace all my coils and spark plugs. Car starts up great but the problem is still there, what could it be? 

I have reset my ECU already.

Before the limp mode starts, the car will drive fine till about down 3mins after it will just LIMP MODE the whole way, once I start my car again it will be normal for abit and then again LIMP

My Skyline is R34 Triptronic.

My engine light has always been on before this occur so I can't tell if another problem popped up so I have to check on that. 

I think also my A/T flashes before I start my car

If your Mass Airflow sensor is broken the car won't exceed 2000rpm

This thing is when I start the car it will drive normal and goes over 2000rpm but after about 3 mins or so it will just start to choke and chug and can't even drive over 40kms :(

It was on for a reason - there's something wrong. **Sigh**

So God only knows what might have broken to cause your current situation. (but I'll back the AFM as the chief culprit)

Car runs fine now and I didn't do anything really, just reset the code and I can finally drive it pass 2000rpm. Problem now is when I'm driving, at a red light my idle drops and sometimes the car dies, but starts right back up no problem. Any clues because my mechanics are clueless. The cel code was A/T and ABS fault but that has nothing to do with my current problem zz

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
